Book Review: Soar

In the city that never sleeps the Chronicles continue…

Serving coffee is temporary, just like Casey's year off from school. She’s going to come up with a plan to stay in New York City and go back to college, and that plan does not involve dating a paranormal creature—let alone two.

Running the supernatural society of New York is not as fun as it sounds, especially when you still have to answer to your ex-girlfriend’s fiancé. Toby doesn’t mean to bring Casey into the chaos of his life, but he can't resist the girl who makes him smile when he thought no one else ever could.

Jared's in New York checking out a security risk for his best friend, the king. He plans to return to New Orleans quickly, but not if it means losing his chance with the brunette who pretends she wants nothing to do with him.

In over her head with a bunch of winged creatures who most definitely are not angels, Casey has to figure out who to trust with her life and maybe her heart.

This is the companion/sequel series to the Crescent Chronicles. If you remember, Flight was my first book of the month, way back when. When I heard that she was writing another series using Toby and Jared as main characters (and newcomer Casey) I was aboard. Unlike the first series this one switches narrators between the three characters I just mentioned. Each was interesting, although Jared wasn’t as fun to read about as I had hoped, and my heart certainly went out to Toby. This book was twice as entertaining as the original trilogy and it had me captivated from the very start.

We see a ton more shifters in this book than we did, really, for the rest of the series, and this is where the main threat is held for the series. I don’t want to spoil anything, but like with Allie, Casey is a wanted woman. Trust me when I say you won’t see the terrible little cliffhanger coming. I was so caught up with the book I didn’t even realize it was over until I turned the page and there were no more (reading on my kindle certainly didn’t help!). I shrieked when I realized we were going to be left dangling like we were. In a good way. I think it will please many people to see the direction Rose Ivy takes us in.

Now, this is a New Adult book and it really should be taken at that value. The romance was intense. It also drags out through the whole story and one of the reasons I kept reading as closely as I was, was for the love story. I was just dying to see how it played out and my nose was glued to the screen. 

Overall, it was a pretty amazing book. I’m giving it four stars.
